JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
E. M. Bruce, Moroan & Cos. have t's,
tabliahed a Colton House at ApjlacMlcOb,
Florida, where they offer ' great inriuce
nieote to holders of cotton in Florida and
Southwestern Georgia. * Wo call attention
to their advertisement in uuother cohinin
and we endorse the following from the per
of a co temporary:. k . .. ;_ _
From all accounts from Southwestern
Geo gia, it appears that there iastill a great
quantity of cotton in that section. Up to
the present time, the holders thereof have
been unable to for vard the same to mar
ket, for lack of transportation and other as
sistance accessary. Messrs. E. M. Bruce
<k Cos., of our city, having learned the sit
uation' in that part of the State, have de
termined upon establishing a house at Apa
lachicola, h lorida, for the purpose of render
ing the planters of Southwestern Georgia,
Eastern Alabama and Florida, the same
assistance they do holders of cotton in other
•actions. The new firm will be carried on
under the name of E. M. Bruce, Morgan
& Cos.
We have spoken before of the great
benefits planters and holders of cotton
have received by availing themselves of the
privileges extended to them by this house.
It is unnecessary to refer to them again.—
The great benefits are too apparent. And
the holders of cotton in the section of the
South in which E. M. Bruce, Morgan &
Cos. propose to extend their business, will
soon find out that what these gentlemen
are willing to do for them in the way of
taking charge of their productions, is.as
much for the benefit cf tbo owner as for the
party who renders the assistance necssary
to get it to market. \
The enterprise of E. M. Bruce & Cos. is
highly commendable in all things, and we
doubt not the cotton holders in Southwest
ern Georgia as well as elsewhere, will em
brace the opportunity the establishment of
a branch house at Apalachicola will give
them to ship their cotton to a seaport at
tba earliest practicable moment.
James Seymour.—This gentleman, so
weß known to our citizens, is receiving at
his store, on Third street, a very desirable
lot of articles. He belongs to the old
acbool as a gentleman, and to the live line
as a business man. He is always up with
tha market, and keeps such articles as our
citixens are always in need of. We com
mend him and his house to our readers, as
worthy of patronage.
Perfumery, etc —Messrs. Findlay &
Kenrick have en hand an extensive lot of
Perfumery', consisting of Sozodont and
Codfish, which they offer to those using
such articles.
Ebenezer Association.— Members of the
Ebenezer Association will see notice of
meeting of the association in another col
smn. - - - I
G. F. k H. I. Oliver offer a large lot
of Cotton Cards, at reasonably rates.
Pet. Notice of M. B. Smith in reference
to real estate and lands belonging to the
estate of E. P. Partridge.
Miss E. V. Emmonett will find a letter
of importance to her at this office.
Murder.—T. J. Musgrove was brought
to our cittv day before yesterday under
guard, and accused of tlfift murder of Privt.
\Y. C. Armstrong, of Cos. C. 145 Indiana
Infantry. The prisoner is rather youthful
in appearance, and says he resides in
Randolph County, Ga. It seems that
Annalrong was acting as courier between
Cuthbert and Ft. Gaines. He left Cufh
lerton Wednesday la§t on duty, when he
was shot by young Musgrove, aqd instantly
k‘led. Armstrong’s hat was found on
the premises of Musgrove, we believe, se
creted in his bed. A third party is also
a citizen of; the vicinity of
Cathbert, who is also here under guard.
The whole matter is being investigated
before Gen. Croxton.
jx Mistake. —Noodles say§ tlpit the old
axiom that “a leopard cannot change his
r t ots, nor the Ethiopian his skin,” has
i.ayed out. He has seen a leopard go all
his cage, and once seen clear
-iside. changing his spots every leap and
-rating some other animals change theirs.
As to the Ethiopian, he says his skin is
hanging every year, and that where noth
•ig but blackness was seen is now to be
c the golden tints of molasses. —
Every succeeding crop is improving in
color, and he expects next year tu see
ail white.
Yesterday was a rainy day, as the
joys gay, that counts. We had some
ceavy showers. The streets are quite
®n*idy. In consequence of the rain, there
T *r« not the usual number of our country

,eT * pretty well crowded.

| Home Thought*.
Talk ant act an we may in the day time, amid
j hustle mid strife, there is at hoot* *a influence
i which moulds and
j better. Night, tea, has an associative influence,
thrown around it as evening tells, which camiot be
lightly estimated ; but a euiixner night has over a
strange fascination hr it* spell.
Last night we arers dreaming home thoughts—
Ftlfißtty, alone—and we swept on into the dead
Past where leaves rustle with every breath of re
membrance. No doubt others were as busy as we
among the memories of tbs past, but it mattered
not to us as silently the pictured scenes rose up
before us with a power which seemed to overmas
ter us. W« rose from the table and strove to
•hake off the saddening memories. Prom the
window of our room we looked out upon the street,
but the great throbbing heart of the city was
hushed. Lights danced ia the dwellings around,
and we wandered away from our first im*gin<^j
and thought of the thousand home scenes which
would be brought before us could we step unseen
into the dwellings of (Its- dty. How many joyous
tableaux we might have gased upon, opeuiug the
most gladsome springs of the heart 1 In how
many a home might we have dropped wpoo those
vbose life seemed crowned with affection’s choicest
gifts I In some, perhaps, we might have looked
upon a mother watching, with subdned *nd holy
joy, the slumber of her cbftd ; And in others we
might have seen. Hope straggling with some bitter
sorrow. <*« »
But Asmodeus was not with us, and we did not
attempt to stir from our quiet domicil—for even
a9 we gazed out, the damp wind, swept down the
open street with that melancholy moan which
sounds so ssddening at that hour. Agate, as come
the impulsive thoughts which master our existence,
the past swells up before as, as if the dead were
once more walking with the living; As the silent
hour# sweep on, these by-gone scenes increase in
distinctness and power, and thoughts of olden
time live anew in the light of other days. Who
has not at such a time recalled each past error,
each on worthy aim, and turned anew tw-Ufe a th
better and loftier .aspirations! Thus the homo
thoughts become a monitor which keeps the heart
and affections pure ; for sad is the history of that
man who turns away from the teaching with his
selfish purposes unchanged.
Trade and Commerce of Chicago. —The Board
of Trade of Chicago has made its seventh anuua
statement, from which it appears that there are
seventeen grain warehouses in that city, with a
total capacity of 9,936,000 bushels. Os these, two
have a capacity of a million and aquaFter' ea ;»• ;
the lowest is 76,000 bushels. The business in
produce shows a alight falling off In nearly every
instance from the figures of the year preceding.
The receipts of floor duriog the year amounted
to 1,170,274 barrels, against 1,424,066 barrels re
ceived daring the preceding yeah The total ship
ments of flour during the Same'ye*r amounted to
1,287,646 barrels, against 1,607,816 barrels in the
year 1863-4. These statistics show a slight de
crease in the trade for the past year, due chiefly
to the unsettled state cf the markets and the fluc
tuations in gold, as well aa to the high rates of
freights that rui and after the close of navigation,
The manufacture of highwines in that city during
the year 1864 amounted to only 68,866 barrels,
equl to 8,498,34* gallons. This shows a material
decrease, as compared with 1868 ; but it is due
entirely to the passage of the tax by Congress,
which enabled holders of stocks to sell at lower
prices than the manufacturers could furnish them
for.

7'he Injluenct of Ntwtpapen —A school teach
er, who has been engaged for a long time in his
profession, and witnessed the influence of a news
paper upon the minds of a family of children,
writes s« follows:
I have found it to be the universal faet without
exception, that those scholars of both sexes and
of all ages, who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared to those who have not, are:
1. Better readers, excellent in pronunciation,
and consequently read more understanding!/.
3. They are better spellers, and define wordg
with ease and accuracy.
8. They obtain practical knowledge of Geogra
phy in almost half the time it requires others,.as
the newspaper has made them acquainted with
the location of the important places of nations,
their government and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians for having be
come so familiar with every variety of style in tbe
newspapers, from tbe common-place advertisement
to tbe finished and classical oration of tbe states
man ; they more readily comprehend the meaning
of the text, and consequently analyse its construc
tion with accuracy.
5. They write better compositions, using better
language, containing more thoughts, more clearly
and more connectedly expressed.
6. Those young men who have for years been
readers of newspapers, are always taking the lead
in debating societies, exhibiting * more extensive
knowledge upon a greater miw of subjects, and
expressing their Views with'frlrSater fluency, clear
ness and correctness, in the use of language.
A young lady moving in the upper circles

“/n the Loft." —During the progress of a pro
tracted meeting ia M county, * good old
brother.went to the minister aud asked him to
spend the uight with him. The minister promised
to do so, but when the services were over, a gen
tleman came to hiui and said—
“ Brother M——, did you not promise to gp
with old brother W— — home to-night?”
l '\ es sir, I did,’ the answer.
“Do you know how brother W is fixed ?”
“No sir, Ido not. What arts bis dream ‘tttnees ?
What kind of a house doea he live in !” asked the
minister.
*‘s? \’ Vea fe* L*g house with one room.”
“His house has a 101 l in it has’ni it?"
“Tea, it has."
“WeU my and ar brother, there is as sweet sleep
for me in that loft as in the most riebly furnished
room."
• incident contains a practical lesson to min
isters of the gospel; it is often the oompiatnt of
poorer member* of (heebutchof Christ that their
ministers do not visit them, and while remaik*
like these are frequently unreasonable and unjust,
yet.there are o-ten just grounds for these com
plaints, and the poor see their humble dwellings
passed by, while their minister visits his wealthier
brethren clone.
He who refuses to visit the jSSor of his flock be
cause of their poverty,-has not the spirit of Him
who had not wb*to to laj HU.head, the glory of
whose Gospel was that it was pjeached to the
poor, and whose eye marked with approval the two
mites cast by the poor widow into the treasury of
the Lord.
lly brethren in the ministry, there is sweet sleep
for ua in the poor man’s loft, for when ouf Master
■#e» us visit His poorer brethren for His sake, the
peace that He gives in His gracious approbation
will do more towards making our slumbers pleas
aut and refreshing than if we rested on beds of
down with curtains of silk.
